Arc de Triomphe

The Arc de Triomphe in Paris is a striking landmark and an important part of French history. It was built in 1806 by order of Napoleon Bonaparte to celebrate the victories of the French army. The monumental structure is 50 meters high and offers a unique view of the famous Champs-Élysées from its observation deck. A visit allows you to not only admire the impressive architecture, but also learn about the 30 engraved names of French generals and battles.

Beneath the Arc de Triomphe is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a monument commemorating the fallen soldiers of the First World War. The flame of remembrance is lit here every day at 6 p.m. A walk around the monumental structure leads through a vibrant area with shops and cafés where you can fully enjoy the Parisian atmosphere. A visit to the Arc de Triomphe offers both historical insights and beautiful views of the city.
